Interview notes

As a reporter from Literature and Art, I was the first interview with Mr. Qiao Yu, but we seem to be familiar with an old friend. Not only because our generation sings all the way: "Let us swing up the paddles ...", "A big river ...", "... like a butterfly flew into my window", "Unforgettable night ..." Also because of "Master Qiao", the appearance rate is extremely high. Moreover, we live in the same community and often see him for walking and shopping. The old man who is as good as the street and the sun is kind -friendly.

Our conversation starts with literary criticism. The reporter said that we noticed that many listeners were dissatisfied with some vulgar and low -level phenomena in the current lyrics. You are the authority of the lyrics creative industry and want to hear your opinions. "Master Qiao" laughed and said, you are not interesting enough, not a hero. I joined the Chinese Writers Association in 1954. I am a reader of the Literature and Art News. I know you have the ability to ask questions. If you don't think it's good, you boldly criticize. Today you want to borrow my mouth to speak.

The original 45 -minute interview was conducted for two hours. "Master Qiao" talks about the present and modern times, talks, talks, talks, talks, talks about Peking opera, and talks about philosophy ... He said, if it wasn't for a cold, I could still talk about it.

The lyrics must have a rational light

Qiao Yu believes that the lyrics are poems that live in people and verbally today. Song is a living poem, and people can't do without it. What would they be like if there was no song? The song is written more because people need it, so they develop quickly, and the song is naturally associated with the people of the general public. Generally speaking, lyrics creation has always been prosperous and developed, and the current situation is also very good.

Mr. Qiao Yu talked about the current problem of lyrics in the singing scene, saying that the lyrics often lack the irradiation of rational light. Generally speaking, there are many problems with lyrics creation. There are many reasons. Some humanistic levels are not high, and they are written without writing; some have culture, but the preparation of creation is insufficient.

Mr. Qiao Yu advocated that he must pay attention to rational thinking, and he only does not work alone. Image thinking is inseparable from the feeling, but this feeling should be a feeling of being armed rationally.

What do we think of lyrics now, how do lyrics write, and what do we want? What is advocated? Mr. Qiao Yu said that the amount of lyrics is too large, and there are too many people participating in the writing of lyrics, so there are more problems. It's like half -acre square ponds, clear and bottom, and there are a few swimming fish. Of course, it is good, but it is just a small landscape. There are muddy sand, and fish and dragons are mixed. It is called big landscape, and only big landscapes can only appear in the large river. On the one hand, we don't want to give up small landscapes, but on the other hand, we should create big landscapes. "Use our flesh and blood to make our new Great Wall." This is the national anthem, which is the atmospheric momentum. This kind of momentum cannot come out in half acres of square ponds.

Mr. Qiao Yu said, don't care too much about who wrote who does not write. History explains this, Sali has only rushed gold, 5000 years of Chinese history, a large number of literary and artistic works have not been circulated, and there are very few circulation. There are too many works for three or five days to lead each other. Three or five days cannot affect anything. Let it go. If this kind of thing is left by history, that is, we have read it wrong, not wrong.

Mr. Qiao Yu said that in a short period of time, we can look at it again, don't conclude easily, and put it in history to test.

I can only write the song I can write

Mr. Qiao Yu has been old and has always insisted on his creation, but he said that he has not written much songs in the past few decades. If you ca n’t write it, even if you do n’t feel it, you must not cope.

He said, I can only write the songs I can write. I can't write many songs. It is not that I don't think those are not good, but I can't write it. To write a good song, you must have a sense of true feelings. It is impossible to make a hard work. It is not tempted to make a few words. How can others be moved? The song that makes people unable to stand must not stand, and it can't last long.

Mr. Qiao Yu is not a "high -yield" poly writer, and the same song has never been repeatedly created. He believes that one thought, one content, one observation, it is difficult to write a few different lyrics.

The song "Unforgettable Tonight" has been used at this party since the second year of the CCTV's starting the Spring Festival Gala. The director of the TV station found "Master Qiao" several times. Change. "Master Qiao" said that I couldn't write it anymore. The same scene, the same feeling could not write different words.

也有很多小学请“乔老爷”写校歌，写儿童歌曲，“乔老爷”难为极了，他不可能再写“让我们荡起双浆……”了，如果非让老先生翻新，他说， That is fake, that is, it is nonsense, without your own observation, without your own language, what does it mean to write about others.

Many people find "Master Qiao" and say, you wrote a lifetime song, just write a few words. "Master Qiao", who has always been mild, told the coming person that I never wrote it casually for a lifetime. I have a lot of thoughts for each song. How can I write a lot? Intersection I don't believe that others have this capable, how big genius, and I don't believe this ability. How much content can be accommodated in the end

In the past few years, Mr. Qiao Yu also wrote a song for Go. Although he didn't know the way of Go at all, he was full of curiosity. He borrowed half of the Go information from the chess courtyard and studied for a long time. Friends, to create with intentions, he wants to confirm a question: how much content can be accommodated, and whether there is no content to write about the song. He believes that the capacity of the song is very large, that is, whether you can write it.

The lyrics created by Mr. Qiao Yu are widely themes, and he also wrote that he did not write the theme of songs in history. The "abacus song" at the Spring Festival party also made the old gentleman a lot of thoughts when writing. Although he couldn't sing, "Master Qiao" still talked about the word: "Being one below, the top five, a small plate of beads, the world is clear.白 Fayer, which one is white and bitter, I ask you to have a number in your heart. Three times and five, two to two, how many days are there, how many people are blessing? Multiply. "

Speaking of this "Master Qiao" laughed, he said that he was too rational and old. He can't write words like you want to die. He wrote "Huang Guo Tree" and "Dujiangyan" the previous year, and also wrote "Lake Pen Song". Mr. Qiao Yu said, "I haven't written these contents, I can learn, I am interested in writing such a subject that has not been written."

When it comes to the proportion of lyrics created by Mr. Qiao Yu's creation and the proportion of unknown, the old man opened his hands and made a ten -to -one action. He said 90%did not sing. Mr. Qiao Yu believes that there are many factors here, but as far as the lyrics he created, he does not think that it is not a good word if he does not sing.
